Ma Xuemei's face felt much better after being comforted by Li Dong so bluntly.

"As long as the girl understands me, I didn't expect that she would stare at me and make you spend more money."

Li Dong waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't tell lies. You should know how to make clothes for the elderly. I'm just afraid that the baby will grow taller."

Ma Xuemei smiled, "That's because when my grandma makes clothes for me, she has to roll up two sides so that one side can be put on next year."

"You said I'm already 21, so why am I still tall? She said I'm still 23."

"That's it."

Li Dong echoed, "The old man has a good heart and we have to understand. With more fabric, my grandma won't nag me."

"I'm going to buy some small things, and I also have to go to the department store and Xinhua Bookstore. Just be busy. I'll come see you next time when I come to the county town."

Li Dong went to the fabric counter and quietly traded the ten-foot cloth ticket with the salesperson.

I went to the grocery counter and picked out pink and bright red sewing thread, two large quilt stitching needles, ten white buttons, and twenty marbles.

I went to the knitting counter and chose a pair of white and red peony pillow covers.

After paying the money and getting these little things, I left the supply and marketing cooperative in a hurry.

The salesperson at the fabric counter walked from the counter to the tobacco and wine cabinet, "Xuemei, I'm sorry, our counter always loses money and gets criticized by name. I didn't mean to target you. Thank you for introducing me to the business."

"fine."

Ma Xuemei waved her hand pretending not to care, "I understand, it's not easy at any counter."

"I also have good intentions to let you get to know this fat girl. The fat girl is rich. She bought two bottles of Maotai without blinking an eye, and bought the cigarettes in sticks."

"Don't I know you have a ticket? We help each other."

"Yes Yes."

The salesperson at the fabric counter thanked her sincerely, "Thank you. I will remember her this time. You are so generous."

"I envy her body when I think about her body. To be able to eat so fat, her family must be capable, and there is no shortage of food and drink."

Li Dong, whose figure was envied by others, walked north after coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, turned left at the intersection, passed by the department store, and went to Xinhua Bookstore first.

This east-west street is more than 500 meters long, with a department store at the east end and Xinhua Bookstore in the middle.

I locked the car at the door and entered the bookstore carrying an empty cloth bag.

Xinhua Bookstore also has a glass counter that separates customers from salespeople.

Li Dong first stared at the brands on the shelves in the counter.I found the children's reading counter and found that most of the counters were books for little people.

It's a short story, the four boys will probably like it.

She asked for a complete set of Journey to the West, a few books about the Anti-Japanese War, and a few children's books with pinyin.

Another Xinhua dictionary, a 12-count pencil, two erasers, a pencil sharpener and ten arithmetic pads.

The total is only 11.74 yuan.

After paying the money, taking the ticket and going back to the counter to get something, I met an acquaintance.

"Girl, did you buy these?"

The middle-aged woman pointed to the books tied with paper ropes on the counter.

"Hello Auntie."

Li Dong nodded, "I bought these for my brother and the others."

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I'm always one step slower than you."

Seeing that Li Dong didn't understand, the middle-aged woman explained, "I wanted to buy Journey to the West for my grandson, but I didn't expect that you bought the only set."

Li Dong didn't know what the fate was between him and this aunt.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I can't give it to you. I promised my brothers that I would buy these for them."

The middle-aged woman waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll ask my husband to buy it from other places when he goes on a business trip."

Li Dong put a bunch of books into a cloth bag and walked out of the Xinhua Bookstore.

The middle-aged woman followed her out. Seeing the basket on the back seat of the bicycle, she asked Li Dong, "Are you going to make a big purchase?"

"Yes."

Li Dong unlocked the door and pushed the bicycle eastward.

The middle-aged woman caught up with her and said, "Girl, are you going to the department store?"

Li Dong nodded, "Yes, I still need to buy some small things."

The middle-aged woman didn't know whether she was bored or chatty, "What do you want to buy? I'll give you a reference."

Li Dong knew that there must be no pillows for sale in department stores. "Auntie, does she know where I can buy pillows?"

"You're asking the right person."

The middle-aged woman laughed and said, "There is a silkworm breeder in an alley over my house. Silkworm sand is a good thing for pillows."

Silkworm sand?Good stuff indeed.Silkworm sand is a medicinal material that has the effects of dispelling wind, removing dampness, activating blood circulation, relieving itching and relieving pain. "Can you take me there?"

"Not urgent."

The middle-aged woman waved her hand, "Aren't you still going to buy something? Go buy something before you go."

Li Dong was embarrassed, "Will it take up your time?"

"fine."

The middle-aged woman smiled kindly and said, "I'm the only one at home. I'll go shopping with you."

"Thank you."

Li Dong thanked him sincerely, "My name is Li Dabao, please just call me Dabao."

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Okay, Dabao, I think we are quite destined. My surname is He."

Li Dong nodded, "Aunt He."

"Hey!" the middle-aged woman responded happily.

After locking the bicycles in front of the department store, Li Dong and Aunt He entered the department store.

Li Dong's purpose was very clear, he went straight to the counter selling combs and cosmetics.

Hairpins, rubber bands, combs, ice cream, clam oil shampoo, but no hairspray in sight.

Aunt He followed Li Dong, "What do you want to buy?"

Li Dong continued to look at the counter without looking back, "The little girl's hair doesn't seem to be available here, and I didn't see it at the supply and marketing cooperative just now."

Aunt He tugged at her sleeves, "You buy a few rubber bands, and we'll go upstairs to buy a couple of cashmere yarns."

"Buy another crochet hook, and I'll teach you how to crochet flowers. You can hook many crochet flowers with just one or two threads."

Hook yourself?

It seems quite convenient.

Li Dong stood up straight, "Then I'll trouble you."

Aunt He shook her head, "It's not troublesome."

Li Dong bought a pack of rubber bands and a few bottles of shampoo.

A bottle of this shampoo costs 2.40 yuan with an industrial coupon, and 3.80 yuan without an industrial coupon.

Li Dong thinks it's a good deal. Industrial coupons are only 2 yuan each on the black market.

The two of them went upstairs. Cashmere wool cost 7.80 yuan per pound, plus an industrial coupon.

Thinking about the price of Deliang again, Li Dong understood that this was because the industry was underdeveloped and industrial products were generally expensive.

Crochet hook costs 1.20 yuan, plus 0.1 industrial coupon.

Li Dong only had 0.5 industrial coupons left. She bought one or two of each of the three brightest colors, red, yellow and blue, and two crochet hooks, and spent all the industrial coupons.

Aunt He took Li Dong to the Public Security Bureau on Beimen Street. Aunt He asked Li Dong to lock the bicycle at the door of the Public Security Bureau.

"Bicycles are locked here for safety. I live in the family courtyard next door. The sericulture house is in the alley next to the family courtyard."

Aunt He is a family member of the Public Security Bureau?

Li Dong was relieved and worried at the same time.

I was reassured that I would not be kidnapped, but I was worried that I would do something bad in the future and be discovered by this acquaintance with whom I was so lucky.

After locking the car, Li Dong put his cloth bag on his back and followed Aunt He to the alley.
